J2: shown in Fig. 3, the free edge of the fixedvane 31 is curved toconform to the shaft 21, the two parts being in close contact to preventany ofthe soap from being forced between these parts.

As pressure is applied to the soap by movement of the shaft, asindicatedin Fig.3, the soap isvforced into a recess 32 in the fixed vane31 near its base which receives the upper end of the tube 13 so that thevane or paddle' may be moved into contact with the fixed vane 31, andpractically all of the soap in the handle may be forced out intothebrush' for use?
